Dual Boot Vista-Ubuntu

New Member

I had install Vista in my computer. Now, I want to try to install ubuntu 8.04LTS in my computer. I tried several times but each times I try, I say that the installation failed. It say that something related to GRUB. I try follow the procedure describe here but I'm a bit not understand.
can you describe on how to do it?http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu

You're going to need to give us more info about that "something about GRUB" error - the exact wording would be great.

Most likely you didn't install GRUB to the right device when selecting the "Advanced" button. Be sure to use a valid /dev/sd* notation instead of (hdx,y) and that it refers to the same drive & partition that was shown in the partition manager when you selected the root "/" partition for Ubuntu to be installed to.
